    Best reticule for rabbits @ 400+ yards

    Looking for a new scope. Main uses bunny busting at up to / past 400m and general range use.

    What type to get, the choice seems endless!!
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Fine duplex...

    Are you going to be dialling, or do you want to use holdover ?

    Yeah but the issue is the Nightforce and Sightron scopes I am looking at are a lot of wedge and an expensive whoopsie if I get it wrong. I ain't made of money despite what some think :0

    Perhaps you could progress to a Kahles. 4-18-50 TT

    Optical clarity second to none, tactical dialable turrets, 4x for versatility and up to 18x for those animals aways out there.

    There is no cheap path to precision Long Range shooting.

    And let's face it, often your experience of a rifle is determined by the view you have through its scope, you could have an average Hubertus on a Sako and hate using it, and a superb Kahles on a Stirling and have a pleasant afternoon.

    Skimping on a scope only ensures a mediocre experience every time you pick it up.

    Nice scope Brads, and never mind about Neckshot, he's funnier than Adam Lambert singing 'Ring of fire'
